The Vista at Twenty Mile
in Nocatee

A Gated Community of Just 44 Planned Homesites

The Vista was designed on a very different scale from most Nocatee neighborhoods.

With only 44 planned homesites, winding streets, ponds and substantial preserved woodland around much of the community, it has a more contained residential feel than neighborhoods such as The Crossing or The Outlook.

Not all 44 sites currently contain completed homes, so we consider The Vista an established neighborhood that is still finishing its overall buildout.

Some of Nocatee's Largest Homes

The homes in The Vista vary considerably in size and design.

Current property records show completed homes ranging from approximately 3,500 square feet to more than 8,000 square feet. That puts the upper end of The Vista among the largest homes found within Nocatee.

But square footage is only part of the comparison here. Layout, ceiling heights, garage configuration, outdoor living, pool, finish level and homesite can make two similarly sized properties feel completely different.

A Strong Spanish and Mediterranean Architectural Identity

One of the first things we notice when entering The Vista is how different it looks from most of Nocatee.

The original neighborhood vision was centered around Spanish and Mediterranean-inspired architecture, and that character is still clearly visible in the completed homes. White and warm-toned stucco, clay tile roofs, arches, courtyards, balconies, wrought-iron details and substantial masonry elements appear throughout the community.

What makes The Vista especially interesting is that the architecture feels coordinated without the homes feeling repetitive. Some properties are broad one-story estate homes, while others are substantial two-story residences. Rooflines, garage arrangements, entries, courtyards and overall massing can vary considerably from one homesite to the next.

For buyers who care about architecture, that is one of the biggest reasons The Vista feels different from a more traditional production-built Nocatee neighborhood.

Water and Preserve Homesites Matter

The original neighborhood plan was organized around a series of ponds and large areas of preserved woodland.

That creates very different backyard environments throughout the neighborhood. One home may overlook water, another may back to preserve and another may have a more traditional neighboring-home setting.

When we're evaluating a Vista property with a buyer, we pay close attention to where the home sits, not simply the floor plan.

The Homes Do Not Share One Construction Story

The Vista has a more complicated construction history than a typical single-builder neighborhood. Pineapple Corporation was the original developer and builder, while some homes were later completed by other contractors.

Because of that, we would not assume that two Vista homes share the same construction history simply because they are in the same community. Builder involvement, permits, completion history and property-specific records deserve closer review here than they might in a traditional production-built neighborhood.

Gated Access Without a Neighborhood Clubhouse

The Vista is gated, but it does not have its own private pool or clubhouse.

Residents instead have access to Nocatee's broader resident amenity network, including water parks, pools, trails, parks, fitness facilities and recreation areas throughout the community.

That distinction can matter to buyers who want gated access and larger homesites but do not necessarily want another private amenity complex maintained within their own neighborhood.

Part of Twenty Mile's Wooded Setting

The Vista sits within the broader Twenty Mile area, where preserved land, mature trees and the area's Old Florida character help distinguish this side of Nocatee from the more densely developed areas closer to Town Center.

For buyers who want the amenities and connectivity of Nocatee but prefer a larger home and a more wooded setting, The Vista occupies a fairly unusual niche.
